` Ciaims.

The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in garment hangers and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a device of this charof the aforementioned character which may be economically produced from a single sheet of ,cardboard or other suitable material.

Other objects of the invention are to provide' a combination garment hanger of the character described which Will be comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable, highly efiicient and reliable in use, compact and light in weight.

All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study of the following specifica- It is thought that the invention will be readily understood from a consideration 'of the foregoing. As shown in Fig. l of the drawing, the,

shirt, jacket or co'at G is mounted on theholder 5 with the front of the garment outermost and (see Fig. 2) the trousers or slacks 9 are inserted through the slot 8 of the holder 1. It will be noted that the slot 8 provides a bar lil on the lower portion of the holder 'l over which the trousers or slacks '9 are suspended. The construction and arrangement is such that bothgarments are fully and attractively displayed and by simply reversing thehanger' either of, said garments may be conveniently examined.`

Of course, the duplicate hooks 4 are engageable over a suitable support for suspending the gartion, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein like Characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein:

Figure 1 is an elevational view of a garment hanger constructed in accordance with the present invention, looking at the side thereof which supports the shirt or jacket.

-Figure 2 is an elevational view, looking at the side of the device which supports theyslacks or trousers.

Figure 3 is a Vertical sectionalview, taken substantially on the' line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a plan view of the hanger in fiat or unfolded position.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the embodiment of the invention whichhas been illustrated comprises what may be referred to as a connecting strip l of cardboard or other suitable material. The strip l is adapted to be folded transversely on itself at an Intermediate point, as at 2. on opposite sides of the fold line 2, the strip l has'extending thereinto recesses 3 which are shaped to define supporting' hooks l.

On one end of. the strip l is an integral coat holder 5 of appropriate shape. The reference numeral 6 designates an upper body garment, such as a shirt, Jacket or coat which is mounted on the holder 5. On the other end of the strip l is an integral holder 'l having a slot 8 therein for tth reception ,of a pair of trousers or slacks, as a ments therefrom. It Will -be noted that the entire device is formedfrom a single sheet of material.

It -is believed that the many advantages of a combination garment hanger constructed in accordance with the present invention will be read- `ily understood and although a prefe'rred embodiment of the device is as illustrated 'and described, it is to -be 'understood that changes -in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed. 4

What is claimed is: 1. 'A garment hanger' formed from a single sheet of bendable material comprising a strip folded transversely at an intermediatepoint, 'and garment holders on the ends of said strip, the lower edges of said holders being free, one of said holders having. a horizontal slot therein for the reception of a garment, said slot extending below the horizontal plane of the lower edge of the other holder. 2. A clothes hanger comprising a pair of bowed body members constituting garment suspension means, one of said .members having an elongated slot therein through which a' garment is adapted to engage, each of said members'being bowed inwardly, and a narrow shank formtions of said shank forming means .being formed with elongated upwardly inclined cutouts 'to thereby provide a hook, the other of said members being substantially narrower 'than .said slotted member, the lower edge thereof beingd-isposed adjacent the lower edge of said slot. the

3. In a garment hanger, a structure including a pair of opposed suspension elements coupled together at their upper ends and hook means common to said elements for suspending them, said elements including parts thereof interme- .diate their ends so formed to thereby provide a pair of spaced aligned suspension means for and v common to a garment, one of said elements being formed with a slot for the passage of and having one of its edges constituting a suspension means for another garment,.8.nd the other of said elements correlating with the slotted element to arrest the slipping of the second garment When the latter is suspended.

4. In a garment hanger, a unitary structure including a pair of inwardly bowed oppositely disposed opposed resilient suspension elements coupled together at their upper ends and hook means common to said elements for suspendng them, said elements including parts thereof, intermediate their ends so formed to thereby provide a. pair of spaced aligned suspension means for and common to a garment, one of said elements being formed with a slot, below said comthem, said elements including parts thereof,

intermediate their ends so formed to thereby provide a pair of spaced aligned suspension means for and common to a garment, one of Said elements being formed with a slot below said common suspension means for the passage of and having one of its edges constituting a suspension means for another garment, and the other of said elements permanently tending to abut and correlating with the slotted element to arrest' the slipping of the second garment when the latter is suspended, said slotted suspension element being of greater length than and having its lower end depending below the lower end of the non-slotted element.
